Renewable Energy Development at NYSERDA Jeff Peterson NYSERDA June 25, 2008 Discussion Outline • Renewable Energy Task Force Recommendations - Creates the policy foundation • Market Development - Builds wholesale and retail markets to meet policy goals • Business Innovation - Grow sustainable businesses to serve the market • Renewable Fuels - Long term commitment through investment in research and planning Renewable Energy Task Force RENEWABLE ENERGY TASK FORCE The Task Force was charged with three primary goals: • Identify barriers in New York State to wider deployment and installation of renewable energy; • Recommend policies, including financial incentives to overcome those barriers to attract clean industries to economically depressed regions of the state; and, • Identify future market areas where additional research and development investment is necessary. Clean, Secure Energy and Economic Growth: A Commitment to Renewable Energy and Enhanced Energy Independence THE FIRST REPORT OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY TASK FORCE TO GOVERNOR DAVID A. PATERSON FEBRUARY 2008 RENEWABLE ENERGY TASK FORCE SUMMARY RECOMMENDATIONS • • • • • • • • Re-Commit to Meeting the State’s Renewable Portfolio Standard Goal and Evaluate Raising Renewable Energy Target Enhance and Expand New York’s Existing Net Metering Law Invest in Clean Energy Businesses for Economic Growth Develop Both a Renewable Fuels Roadmap and a Sustainable Biomass Feedstock Study Expand Research and Development efforts for Renewable Energy Reclaim a Leadership Role Through Building and Product Energy Performance Expand Purchases of Renewable Energy by Local Governments Create a Vehicle Efficiency/Vehicle Miles Traveled Working Group • • • • • • • • Build a Sustainable Market for Solar Energy in New York State Develop a Strategy to Reap the Benefits of New York’s Wind Energy Potential Expand Training Programs to Sustain a Green Collar Workforce Improve Overall Agency Consistency and Coordination Use Creative Financing to Promote Investment in the Renewable Energy Industry Encourage the Use of Advanced Metering and Smart-Grid Technology Build on Public and Private Educational Programs Facilitate Interconnection Processes for Renewable Distributed Generation Market Development Renewable Portfolio Standard • Target: 25% of retail sales served by 2013 • Existing resources account for about 19.5% • Incremental requirement satisfied as follows: Main Tier (NYSERDA) Customer-Sited Tier (NYSERDA) Voluntary Green Retailing State Agency Purchases Total 9,850 GWh 50 GWH 1,800 GWh 300 GWh 12,100 GWh Approach: Design and administer a series of competitive procurements and incentive programs to add new grid-tied renewable generation and increase the penetration of renewable technologies located behind-the-meter on the customer premises and preserve existing renewable resource base Cumulative RPS Program Outcomes - Main Tier New capacity (at end program year 2009) Total Available REC produced annually Facilities involved Resource type New capacity under NYSERDA contract Expected NYS economic benefits REC under contract to NYSERDA annually Weighted REC price % of 2013 program goal achieved - approx. 1,345 MW nearly 4,300,000 31 projects/29 in New York 16 hydro/3 biomass/13 wind 1,106 MW approx. $ 1.4 billion approx. 3,500,000 $ 17/MWh approx. 35 % Results pending execution of contracts under 3 rd procurement cycle NYSERDA PV Rebate Applications per Year - SBC/RPS 600 486 500 400 284 300 262 Total 200 170 117 100 80 0 2003 2004 2005 2006 Data as of June 23, 2008 2007 2008 Role of NYSERDA CAIR and RGGI Initiatives • Funded/managed critical research on auction principles and practices • Selected auction services provider and expect to execute auctions or brokered arrangements to comply with these new initiatives • RGGI - Region wide auction • CAIR - NYSERDA administered auctions/brokered arrangements • NYSERDA administers CAIR/RGGI programs on behalf of NYS DEC • NYSERDA allocated carbon (CO2) (approx 65 million tons) and nitrous oxide (NOx) allowances (approx 23,000 tons) respectively to sell to entities affected by these new regulations. • Proceeds from the sales of CO2 and NOx will be used to promote and implement programs for energy efficiency, renewable or non-carbon emitting technologies, and innovative carbon emissions abatement technologies with significant carbon reduction potential. Business Innovation Why Businesses Need to Pay Attention to Climate Change • Regulatory Risk – Emission regulation. • Supply Chain Cost – Higher component and energy costs as suppliers pass along increasing carbon-related costs to their customers. • Product and Technology Opportunities - Ability to identify new market opportunities for climate-friendly products and services. • Reputation – Public, or consumer, perception on the role of the company as a steward of the environment. What Drives Public and Private Decisions? Public Sector Investors Key Goals Investment Focus Biggest Concern Private Sector Investors Reduce early technology risks Address real market needs-investments Early investments in market focused businesses with: Strong Early, high risk RD&D; Technology performance management teams; Products – not technologies; Market and cost reduction; Technology certification development and access to these markets: customer and performance verification drive Technical showstoppers -Technical capabilities, benefits and applications; competition Other Factors -Macro market perspectives on energy needs & trends -Public policy and public good needs & trends -Fairness of opportunities, and not competing with the private sector Collaborations -Commercialization is the responsibility of private sector Customer and market showstoppers Market driven, customer benefits; Broader (beyond energy) sets of industry applications: Market competition; and entry strategies; Ability to factor public policy impacts into investment and business formation decisions effectively Collaborations to reduce the risk and improve the profitability of investments Enablers needed -Collaborations that accelerate the deployment and use of the technology -Information, people, knowledge and data necessary for sound investments -Entrepreneurial focus on market and business development issues Funding Process Competitive written proposals Decisions based on management team, due diligence. -Technology is commercialized and public good goals are met - Public sector has no direct ownership Profit through capital appreciation, i.e., increase in value of ownership stake. Profits are often realized at later investment stages through an exit strategy Pay Off Based on: J.E. Pater, Framework for Evaluating the Total Value Proposition of Clean Energy Technologies, Technical Report NREL/TP-620-38597, February 2006 Rebates alone will not Build a Market Component Manufacturing Technology Integration Marketing and Distribution Project Development/ Installation Project Finance System Operation Typical Residential System Typical Utility System Full Vertical Integration Electricity Sales Support Business Innovation along with Technology Development Business Technology Product Definition Business Concept Technology Development Manufacturing Will the technology work? Will it work for a customer? Is the business viable?
